Robeson County, NC - Obituary of Elizabeth Brown Wilkinson, 1924
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Elizabeth Brown Wilkinson daughter of Daniel Wilkison of Scotland
November 26, 1924
AROUND FLORAL COLLEGE
Again it is our sad duty to report a death. Last week it was that of a
little child. This week it is that of a lady of mature years which shows
us that death is no respector of persons, is sure and liable to come as
a thief in the night and how important it is for all of us to "Be ye also
ready for ye know not the day nor the hour in which he comes." And we
believe the life she lived showed that Miss Lizzie was ready when the
summons came on Saturday night last at 9:15 o'clock. At the house of her
brother, Mr. Dougal A. Wilkinson, of Maxton, Route 5, in the seventy-third
year of her age.
About a year ago she suffered a stroke of paralysis and since that time her
health had been bad but her death came as a shock to her many friends and
relatives. She was a member of a large and prominent family, a daughter of
Daniel Alexander and Effie Wilkinson, who together with four sisters
preceeded her. The interment was made in the family cemetery at what used
to be Harmony school (now consolidated with Floral College) on Sunday
morning at eleven o'clock. The services were conducted in a most impressive
manner by her pastor.
